Rear-End Collisions

Everything you need to know about rear-end collisions

Motorcycle riders are generally exposed to a lot more danger on the road. Even the slightest impact with a car could result in severe injuries and even death, since motorcycle riders are not protected with any kind of seat belts, metal frames or airbags. Another dangerous collision similar to a head-on collision is the rear-end motorcycle accident, since it is completely unpredictable.

Rear-end collisions usually occur when one vehicle hits the back of the other vehicle. If the accident involved two SUVs or two sedan cars, the consequences will usually be minor. Nevertheless, when it comes to the motorcycle riders, rear-end collisions are most dangerous. In case a car hits the back of the motorcycle, it usually lifts the back wheel in the air, flips the bike and the motorcyclist forward, right on the road. If it was a high-speed collision, there is always a risk that the car will be unable to stop and will run over the motorcyclist. If the motorcycle rider will hit a vehicle in the rear, the bike may stop, but the velocity will throw the motorcycle rider forward. Hence, the bike rider may end up on top of the car or in front of it, on the ground, which can also cause various injuries.
